Corrections: the warnings are issued by qemu, not Jailhouse, e.g.

qemu-system-x86_64: VT-d Failed to remap interrupt for gsi 22.

I suspect that comes from the hand-over phase of Jailhouse, when it
mutes all interrupts in the system while reconfiguring IR and IOAPIC.

Please convert this error (in kvm_arch_fixup_msi_route) into a trace
point. It shall not annoy the host. Also check if you have more of such
guest-triggerable error messages.
